jim cantore, thank you. getting ready for igor. >>> now to the gulf of mexico and the louisiana coast, where residents hope they have heard the last from bp's blown out well. nbc's chief environmental affairs correspondent has been following this story from the beginning. she joins us tonight from louisiana. >> reporter: good evening, lester. late tonight, the crew of the development driller 3 will perform a pressure test on the cement seal at the bottom of the well. it wants to see if that seal can withstand 1150 pounds of pressure per square inch for about a half hour. if it does, then it's up to national incident commander thad allen to declare this well dead once and for all. before the final pressure test can be conducted, workers had to bring up the drill pipe. coming out in 125-foot sections from the relief well. this is john wright's 41st relief well, but this spill and its impact, he says, make it the most important of his career. >> the fact that it had done so much damage, we were able to help sol

the weather channel's jim cantore was in cape hatteras. >> as you can see, we are still taking it on the chin. this water is compliments of pamlico sound and it continues to push up with these strong northerly winds. >> reporter: dawn revealed roads that looked like rivers and a beach full of tires that were submerged for decades as an artificial reef. but because earl's strongest winds never reached shore, damage was remarkably limited. with no reports of major injury and only scattered power outages. by midday, earl had weakened to a category one storm, but remained dangerous. on the jersey shore, a 20-year-old man is presumed dead after he disappeared while swimming thursday night. those powerful waves are still hammering away at long island, new york. >> obviously the surf has come up a lot. there is definitely a riptide out there. we're starting to see a lot of beach erosion. >> reporter: but they are perfect conditions for the fearless. how have the waves been? >> they have been fantastic. really fantastic. can't complain. >> reporter: good memories of earl? >> definitely. defi

jim cantore is in cape hatteras. jim, how's it looking there? >> reporter: it's looking a little better but not by much. this is pamlico sound and that's the problem. because the winds are out of the north as the storm moves to our east, that brought a lot of this sound over highway 12. we've got a lot of problems with highway flooding. now that the sun is up we've got a chance to assess the situation. many can't get through far hatteras village because of the water, in some cases up to doors on some of these vehicles, so traffic down this way is still impassable. we had a rough night. the stormcenter coming about 85 miles from hatteras island. we had a hurricane-force gust. more importantly eight hours straight of tropical storm force sustained winds with very heavy pounding rain. ñe=uÑñ is it time to breathe a sigh of relief, sir? >> not really, but it is looking a little bit clearer as to what the trend will be. i've got the longer trend of the satellite. you can definitely see that the well structured eye and a very circular wind field ha
